Date: Fri, 07 Jul 1995 11:18:41 -0500 (CDT) From: hoffman () colette ogsm vanderbilt edu (Donna Hoffman) To: farber () central cis upenn edu (David Farber) Note that his advisor Sirbu doesn't put his name on the "rebuttal." I've heard that the CS department wanted to issue a statement saying it had nothing to do with it but that the department head refused, worrying it would look bad. I've also heard that one of the advisors hasn't even seen the article and hasn't been involved with the project for over 6 months. One of the "contributors" wrote a scathing critique (Sigel), and another who was acknowledged not only never saw the study but refused to make comments. I've also heard the social science faculty are upset that the EE faculty won't just stand up and say this thing is a fraud and unethical. But the CMU ADMINISTRATION is sending out press releases congratulating themselves for being on the cover of TIME and Nightline, so there you have it. Meanwhile, the Net community manages to stay informed about the debate, with posts as they occur, at http://www2000.ogsm.vanderbilt.edu/cyberporn.debate.cgi DLH
